Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A caste of plants and animals, labeled 'invasive species,' are charged with being a key cause of habitat degradation that must be eradicated at any cost-an ethically questionable and often futile approach. While some invasive species cause great environmental damage, recent developments in the study of ecology have found that intervention efforts themselves have frequently proved more harmful than helpful to their local ecosystems. Yet the outdated narrative of 'species management' persists in both public belief and conservation policy, distracting from and even justifying a far greater threat to biodiversity: the global capitalist system that is destroying our planet. Drawing on environmental science and semiotics, Scapegoat recounts how the use of biased rhetoric and inaccessible language has created support for a popular but misleading war of 'native' against 'invasive' that does nothing to address the root cause of biodiversity loss. Instead, these are 'plastic words' that lose their precise scientific origins with their introduction to everyday language yet still carry the weight of authority-becoming persuasive and dangerously malleable. In her surprising and clear-eyed polemic, Clare Follmann challenges the received wisdom on invasive species in light of the true ecological crisis we face. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The problem with invasive species is a problem of capitalism. A caste of plants and animals labeled 'invasive' are villainized as primary drivers of habitat degradation that must be eradicated at any cost--an ethically fraught and often futile approach. Fanatical intervention efforts lay waste to local ecosystems, yet this outdated narrative of 'species management' persists in both public belief and conservation policy, distracting from and even justifying a far greater threat to biodiversity: the global capitalist system that is destroying our planet.Drawing on environmental science and semiotics, Scapegoat recounts how the rhetoric of war between 'native' and 'invasive' species provides cover for business and political interests and their social and ecological consequences. In her clear-eyed polemic, Clare Follmann challenges received wisdom in light of the true ecological crisis we face. The choice is simple: we can have capital, or we can have life.
